Dudley and Bob with Matt — 93.7 KLBJ-FM, Austin — Monday, August 3, 2015
This Show
Part 1: The Worst of Dudley and Bob
The show features audiologists Paige and Kelly from Estes Audiology conducting hearing tests on Dale, Bob, and Matt live on-air. The recurring argument between Dale and Bob about audio quality and whether Bob can actually hear the difference in expensive stereo equipment comes to a head when the results reveal Bob has the worst hearing loss of all the hosts. The segment then shifts to comedian Tom Brady (not the quarterback), who inadvertently confirms Daniel’s long-standing controversial theory about gynecologists when he reveals his father was a gynecologist who went to prison for taking advantage of patients.
Segments
- Audiologists Arrive for Hearing Tests [00:00:00] — Paige and Kelly from Estes Audiology arrive to test the hosts’ hearing, setting up what Dale hopes will be vindication in his ongoing argument with Bob about whether Bob can actually tell the difference in high-end audio equipment given their years of headphone use.
- The Audio Equipment Argument [00:01:25] — Bob explains his audiophile setup including equilateral triangle speaker positioning and 17-degree toe-in angles, while Dale argues that after decades of headphone use, Bob’s hearing must be too damaged to justify expensive equipment. The audiologists explain frequency response and hearing loss patterns.
- Hosts Take Hearing Tests Off-Air [00:08:30] — Dale, Bob, and Matt go off to take their hearing tests while the remaining hosts fill time discussing Lance Armstrong’s legal troubles and other topics.
- Bob Returns from Test [00:11:02] — Bob describes the sensory deprivation experience of the hearing test, hearing his own heartbeat, experiencing phantom sounds, and his ritual of using Q-tips in both ears simultaneously, which he describes as ‘basically a mini orgasm.’
- The Dire Straits Bottle Test [00:13:33] — Bob explains his audiophile test: playing Dire Straits’ ‘Private Investigations’ at 4 minutes 11 seconds to see if you can hear a bottle breaking on a sidewalk in the distance. They play it on-air to test the station’s equipment.
- Test Results Revealed [00:22:46] — The audiologists reveal that Matt has perfect hearing, Dale has a classic ‘noise notch’ in one ear from headphone use, but Bob has the worst hearing of all three — significant high-frequency loss in both ears starting after 2,000 Hertz. Bob is told he’s within a couple years of needing hearing aids.
- Hearing Aid Discussion and Ham Partnership [00:27:00] — The audiologists explain modern Bluetooth-compatible hearing aids and discuss their work with the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (Ham), where they provide hearing care to local musicians at reduced cost. Dale and Bob both express concerns about their hearing loss.
- Comedian Tom Brady Arrives [00:33:49] — Comedian Tom Brady (the feature act, not the quarterback) comes in. Dale immediately makes a Tom Brady/deflated balls joke. Tom mentions he’s from Bloomington, Indiana but lives in Chicago.
- Daniel’s Geography Confusion [00:35:19] — Daniel admits he always thought Indiana was on the west coast, leading to confusion about ‘West America,’ ‘Top America,’ and the concept of the Midwest. He struggles to explain his mental map of the United States.
- Tom Brady’s Father Revelation [00:39:10] — Tom casually reveals his father was a gynecologist who went to prison for taking advantage of patients. This accidentally vindicates Daniel’s long-standing controversial theory that no one becomes a gynecologist without having inappropriate motivations — a theory the hosts have mocked for years.
- Tom Brady Googled His Dad [00:42:00] — Tom explains he never knew his father (who left when he was two) and only learned about the gynecologist scandal by googling him one day and finding a Weekly World News article. Tom insists he’s not upset because ‘when you don’t know somebody, it doesn’t matter.’
